UK customers migrating to 3SKey
Societe Generale’s UK corporate customer base is migrating to SWIFT’s 3SKey digital identity solution (view press release). 3Skey, which enables users to digitally sign files of payments sent to the bank over a variety of channels, is already being used by Societe Generale’s French customers and the bank is now leveraging the solution to provide secure login authentication for its corporate customers in the UK, that access the bank’s international cash management services via its proprietary web banking portal, Sogecash Web.
3SKey can be used to authenticate a user logging into a web portal as well as to digitally sign transactions and files and enables corporate users to manage their various banking relationships using a single, multi-network personal digital identity.
Alain Raes, Chief Executive, EMEA, SWIFT said: “This move by Societe Generale in the UK is further evidence of the success of 3SKey as a multi-bank, multi-network, multi-country digital identity solution. It is especially pleasing that the solution is now not only being used in France where it was first piloted, but is gaining ever stronger momentum throughout Europe and the rest of the world.”
